Text and Dynamic text elements allow creation of partially bolded text using html tags if element content type is set to html. This works fine e.g. in html and pdf output but causes problems in excel output. Excel emitter splits bold and non-bold text parts into separate cells vertically (bold text is bold). This causes problem when copying data from cells as content isn't in single cell. Layout problems in form of text wrapping arise as well.

Excel supports partially bold text content in cell so it would be fine to get such support for Excel emitter as well.
